Anun Dhawan vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court, while addressing a petition under Article 32, emphasized that although the Constitution does not explicitly guarantee the Right to Food, Article 21 encompasses the Right to live with dignity, which includes access to food. The Court acknowledged the various schemes implemented by the Union and State Governments to combat hunger and malnutrition, such as the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana and the Annapurna Scheme. The Court held that the governments have a constitutional duty to ensure the basic sustainability of human life, but noted that continued monitoring by the Court may not be necessary given the existing measures in place.
